Sports competition without “Aggression” is body without soul. Competition and aggression are twins. There is clear evidence that, in general aggression is more boisterous games, help performance because it arouses players overly to put in harder effort, and “do or die” for the success of the team. Aggression comes from the Latin work aggress, ‘ad’ (to or toward) and greater (walk). Literally then the word means to “to work towards or approach”. Many professional psychologists have studied the effects of frustration upon the elicitation of anger and the amount of anger required to lead to various forms of aggression; direct or verbal aggression. Direct aggression might entail shocking a person in a psychology lab with a buss aggression machine. Indirect (or verbal) aggression might entail making some insulting comments to someone, or even yelling at them. Aggression in sports may also occur simply because a lot of people are highly activated in conditions that are likely to produce negative judgements if failure is experienced or perceived. The moods of players and athletes moulded by whether they are wining ahead or losing, may also influenced by other sports related various to produce aggression types. To be good in sports, you have to be bad, or so many athletes, coaches and sports fans believe. Physical strength and skill are no more the only factors determining the outcome of any sports competition. The psychological variables also play an important role in such outcomes and the psychologists conducting research in sports are trying to study psychological characteristic which help in predicting success in sports. Practical and theoretical questions of interest to sports psychologist include how to maintain athlete’s mental balance in the midst of competitive stress. Generally, sports psychology is concerned with structured competitive sports in which the purpose is to outdo one’s opponent in competitive encounters.. In the competitive setting an athlete has to put certain checks on his inner self i.e. psycho regulate himself in order to produced best results.. The investigator has, therefore, chosen to explore the two very pertinent and interconnected psychological variables i.e. aggression, anxiety and emotional intelligence among the teams and individual events in the presents study. Psychological factors like aggression can affect the performance of an individual and of the whole team. Aggression is a term that used in extensively in sports. If coaches for the people in sports are surveyed and asked to identify the characteristics of successful athletes, aggression would be high on the list. Being aggressive players are used in volleyball by players, who dive on the floor at every opportunity to attempt an apparently impossible save, and in badminton when players rush to the net at every opportunity, its playing aggressive in the sports. Anger is another human trait which drives its origin since human evolution. It has resulted in producing aggression, be itself directed or outwardly. Inwardly directly aggression destroys the self whereas aggression directed outwards harm the others. Both ways, the same is a socially undesirable trait. However without aggression it would be just impossible to visualize many sports. A boxer who is not aggressive to legitimately cause injury to the other is bound to lose. On the contrary, exhibiting aggression transgressing the prescribed boundaries would result in his disqualification, being thrown out of the contest. As a double edged weapon, it harms both ways. Aronson (1977) describes aggression behaviour intended to cause harm or pain. The key to this definition is the word “intend”. If an athlete fractures another athlete nose by accident, the fracture is not the results of aggression.. This includes physical, psychological or social harm, but in sports, physical harm is the primary focus. Many other psychologists have tried to distinguish the two types of aggression. According to Hunsman (1954), aggression is of two types, the primary goal is to inflict injury or psychological harm to someone. Sports competition without aggression is a body without soul. Competition and aggression are twins. There is clear evidence that, in, general, aggression in more boisterous games may help in performance because it arouses players overtly to put in harder efforts, and keep them to motivate to do and die for the success of the team
